The Waiver Wire "poll"

[nymr83]

Of the two issues Seo raised this is by far the easier to deal with. It doesn't have an effect (that I can see) on anyone's draft strategy nor does the number of people who join matter for this poll, thats why I put it up now before we have everyone signed up.

The issue is how long do we want a player to be on waivers?
The current rule is 72 hours. The proposal is to shorten it.

The issue, in my mind, is that we don't want a reasonably diligent owner to "miss out" on a player on waivers.
The question is how often must one check the site to be considered diligent? I don't expect the site to be checked every day, and I don't think anyone else here does either.
I'd like to keep it at 72 hours but I'm perfectly happy with 48 hours.
I'd think its a bit unfair to set it to 24, though as someone who checks his fantasy baseball religiously it wouldn't hurt me.

discuss.

edit- I intentionally did not set this up as a poll because it is likely, in my mind, that with at least 3 options there would have been no majority winner. If i see that discussion takes us in the direction of only two options I may set a poll up.

right now, i might lean towards keeping it at 72, for entirely self-serving reasons. i no longer have access to fantasy sports websites at work, and as i'm learning in my basketball legues, i don't check in every day. now, with baseball, i'm more involved, typically, but still, anything shorter than 48 hours would put me at a disadvantage.

so... 48 or 72 is my vote.

I'm with metsmarathon on this, I can't check fantasy sports from work anymore(sucks) and if AI don't check in before I leave for work I miss some moves, IIRC though yahoo is not updated before 7am each day.

48 hours is fine with me.

I vote for 24, then 48.

Same here.

[nymr83]

I'll vote for 72, followed by 48.

I see no reason not to leave this poll open at least until the day before the draft, its not like it will matter in anyone's draft strategy.

48's fine with me.

i vote 24, then 48. 72 hours is too long for both waivers and trades. If you can't check your site at least once every 2 days, then you deserve to be at a disadvantage.

48.
